Consumer Description

SIX MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT MY USED 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GS I NOTICED IT WAS SOMETIMES HESITANT TO SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR. I PLACED GEAR OIL IN MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION THAT A CERTIFIED MITSUBISHI MECHANIC SAID WOULD BE OKAY. FOR TWO TO FOUR WEEKS IT WAS FINE. AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, I AM STOPPED A AT RED-LIGHT. WHEN I PROCEED TO GO ON GREEN I ATTEMPT TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND AT ABOUT 3500-4000 R.P.M., I AM UNABLE TO ENGAGE 2ND GEAR AND HAVE TO SHIFT IMMEDIATELY TO 3RD. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS A BAD SYNCHRO. I HAVE NO WARRANTY AND HAVE TO PAY THE FULL COST OF REPAIR. *JB
